Bug using MSDOS 3.2 Backup - 10th disk

I think I remember seeing this bug mentioned (a long time
ago) somewhere on the net.  I'm using AT&T MSDOS 3.2 R2.02
(and can't switch to a newer version.)

When I try to RESTORE from a set of BACKUP floppies, RESTORE
dies on the 10th disk.

It looks like BACKUP is writing "0:" in the disk ID instead
of "10", and restore is choking on it.

Has anyone else run into this problem?  Anyone have a patch?

thanks,
Ed Windes (e.windes@att.com)
